This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.
There is a simpler way. Get TMPGenc and GypPlay. Encode to VCD with TMPG and just play it with GypPlay. So far GypPlay has played most of my movie's very good but you will get some macro blocks at times. I find GypPlay better than DCDivX somtimes. I mean DCDivX is still good but GypPlay still does quite a job without worrying about bitrates and audio quality.

Yea thats another solution but if he's asking about setting apparently he wants to get it working free. Of course there's nothing compared to products for which you pay for *sometimes*.

i already make a Dc divx with DVD quality, ( this is true) i make a move of ice of age, 320*240 1600kbs !!!
now i'm testeng the best setings for do that.....
Thats not entirely true, your cideo froze after just 5 min(probably becuase you ran into some high motion scences I'm guessing), and the audio setting you use were probably crap.(I consider 56 kbps stereo to be a good setting, I go no lower)
My reccomended settings for widescreen movies
Divx 5.02
352x150(Ajust the Y valuse based on the aspect ratio of your movie)
700-750 kbps(Depends on how much high action sequences you movie uses)
56 kbps 2400 khz Stereo Audio

Hey ShadowofBob, I encoded a dvd-rip (road trip 23.9fps) at those settings, cept used divx PRO, 720kbps, 40kbps 22050kHz stereo. From about 2/3 to the end of the movie the audio sync went off about 1/2 to 1 second apart from video. I consider this to be good though, and will probably use these settings in the future. Tell me, did you run into audio desync with your videos? should I use 700 next time? Since you use a higher mp3 quality, and often higher bitrate, wouldn't your videos go off? Also do you use Radium or LAME codec.
Has anyone ever tried anything but mp3? Im starting to think it is the cause of many of the desync errors.
Get DivX Pro and encode with Bidirectional ENcoding using 2-pass. Remember to do the first pass then overwrite it with the second. Using this you can achieve up to 1000kbps, although it's a bit jumpy.

No, i disagree with you, i have some movies encode with the DC divx, and the quality it's like SVHS and near to DVD, you need only find the perfect setting for de movie....

Would you care to upload a small sample? I'd love to see how such a high quality can be achieved, especially considering the two video experts on DCEmu (ZacMC and fatheadpi) have only managed bitrates of 1000kbps. And did it really freeze after 5 minutes? I've played stuff at lower qualities than that that have simply frozen after the first few seconds.
And to ime who originally asked about DivX, visit my site for some kick-ass tutorials on encoding your video for DCDivX or GypPlay (as well as some other stuff).
